2019 International Conference on Social Science, Management and Education (ICSSME 2019) Greater Xi'an: Transformation of Xi 'an Economy from Polarization Stage to Diffusion Stage Tian Na College of Economics and Management, Xi'an University Keywords: great Xi'an; multi-level growth; polarization effect; diffusion stage Abstract: As socialism with Chinese characteristics has entered a new era, the basic feature is that China's economy has changed from a stage of high-speed growth to a stage of high-quality development. The polarization effect of Xi'an as the important pole core of Shaanxi's economy is obvious, which causes the overall sustainable growth ability of the regional economic spatial organization formed between the growth pole and its peripheral areas to be declining. The balanced growth of regional economy and the maximization of overall efficiency should be sought through the diffusion of growth poles. The planning and implementation of greater Xi'an should reflect the decentralization and equalization of Xi'an economy from polar nuclear stage to diffusion stage. It is not only necessary to cultivate and perfect the leading industries and market bodies that support the single growth pole, but also to establish the infiltration and connection among the multiple growth poles so as to achieve the high-level equilibrium of regional economy and realize the high-quality growth of economy. 1. Balanced development of regional economy is an important connotation of high-quality economic growth in China Since the reform and opening-up, China's economy has maintained an annual high-speed growth rate of 9.87% in the 32 years from 1978 to 2011, and has achieved an economic miracle that attracts worldwide attention. GDP growth from 2012 to 2018 was 7.7%, 7.7%, 7.4%, 6.9%, 6.7%, 6.9% and 6.6% respectively, with a marked deceleration in economic growth. The slowdown and downtrend of China's economy have aroused wide concern and heated discussion at home and abroad. Wu Jinglian argues that the old normal of high growth driven by heavy investment is no longer sustainable, and that growth is entering a downward spiral. Lin Yifu, a former chief economist at the World Bank, is confident that China's GDP will grow by 6% over the next decade. Lu Dadao argues that medium speed growth is a sustainable path for China's economy. Economic Operation has the law of cyclical change. From the experience of Japan, South Korea and other developed countries, when a country or region experienced a high-speed growth stage, there will be speed shift phenomenon. Understanding the new normal, adapting to the new normal and leading the new normal are the great logics of China's economic development at present and in the future. Political circles and academic circles have studied the issue of China's high-quality economic development from different angles. Yao Jingyuan believed that the change of social principal contradiction determines the direction and focus of economic work, which requires positive Published by CSP © 2019 the Authors 10 transformation and upgrading. The key to grasp the changes of the social principal contradiction is to understand "unbalanced and inadequate development" comprehensively and accurately. Unbalanced and inadequate development is the expression of poor development quality. Liu Wei argues that: At the micro level, high quality development should be based on improvements in factors of production, productivity, and total factor efficiency, rather than on the expansion of factor inputs. In the medium view, we should pay attention to the upgrading of national economic structure, including industrial structure, market structure and regional structure, and allocate precious resources where they are most needed. At the macro level, it requires balanced economic development. Balance and coordination are the internal requirements of high-quality, sustained and healthy development of China's economy. At the same time, balanced development and economic growth are unity of opposite contradictions, there is "U" shape rule between them. In the initial stage of economic development, the non-equilibrium process: the enlargement of regional difference is the necessary condition to realize economic growth. After the economic development has reached a certain level, the equilibrium process: the reduction of regional differences, is also a necessary condition for economic growth. 2. The declining growth ability of Xi'an as the core of Shaanxi's economy Balanced growth is not only the long-term goal of national regional strategy, but also the long-term goal of urban regional economic development. Xi'an is the capital city of Shaanxi Province with a total area of 10,752 square kilometers and a total population of 12 million. It is an important base for scientific and technological research, higher education, national defense science and technology industry and high-tech industry in central and western China. The comprehensive strength of science and education ranks the third in the country, with more than 1 / 3 of the country's aerospace, weapons, and nearly 1 / 4 of the country's aviation research units, professionals and productive forces. The main industries are advanced manufacturing, high-tech industries, modern services and cultural tourism. From 2007 to 2017, the gross domestic product of the major cities in Shaanxi Province (as shown in Table 1), Xi'an has been an important core of Shaanxi's economy. In 2017, for example, the total GDP of Shaanxi Province was 2,189.881 billion, of which the total GDP of Xi'an was 746.98 billion, accounting for 34.11 percent of the province's total GDP. However, from the 2007-2017 GDP growth rate of the major cities in Shaanxi Province (as shown in Table 2), Xi'an's GDP growth rate is basically consistent with the national macroeconomic situation, showing a deceleration. Compared with other cities in southern Shaanxi and Shanbei, Xi'an's GDP growth rate fell from the top five in the province before 2009 to the bottom five in the province after 2009. From the internal geographical space of Xi'an regional economy, GDP indicators of its 11 districts and 2 counties in 2017 and 2018 are shown in Table 3. Based on the data, the total GDP of the five urban districts in the six districts of Xi'an remained above 50 billion except Baqiao District, of which the total GDP of Yanta District was more than 150 billion, making it the only strong region with 100 billion. In the seven sub-districts of Xi'an, GDP of all the six districts except Chang'an District are below 50 billion, of which Zhouzhi and Lantian are below 20 billion for two consecutive years. In 2017, the total GDP of Xi'an's six urban districts was 503.309 billion, accounting for 71 percent of the city's GDP. The total GDP of the seven sub-districts was 210.451 billion, accounting for 29 percent of the city's GDP. In 2018, the total GDP of Xi'an's six urban districts was 564.022 billion, accounting for 71 percent of the city's GDP. The total GDP of the seven sub-districts was 229.038 billion, accounting for 29 percent of the city's GDP. From the two-year data, there is no significant change in the GDP contribution of Xi'an's districts and counties. The six urban districts still account for more than 70% of the city's GDP, while the seven sub-districts account for less than one-third of the city's GDP. The unbalanced and insufficient 11 development within the region has become the biggest bottleneck of Xi'an's sustained economic growth.

    Xi’AN Back to the heyday of the Tang Dynasty Location of Xi’an Xi’an is known as Chang’an in ancient times. Having served as the capital of thirteen dynasties, this city is one of the most important places to study and review the history of China. The Tang Dynasty was the pinnacle of China’s history, a period marked by great urbanism and cultural magnificence. As the capital of the Tang Dynasty, Xi’an was the centre of Eastern civilisation. Its importance was comparable to that of Rome in the West. Xi’an’s Tang Dynasty monuments are the most famous of all, and beyond that, the city is committed to recreating the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty. Nowadays, in Xi’an, it is no longer an unattainable dream to travel back in time to the Tang Dynasty.

City-regions pose new challenges to governance. They transcend multiple local jurisdictions and often involve higher level governments. This paper aims to provide an improved un- derstanding of city-regional governance in China, focusing on three contrasting examples (the Yangtze River Delta Metropolitan Region, the Beijing- Tianjin-Hebei Metropolitan Region, and the Guanzhong- Tianshui Metropolitan Region). We show that, in spite of a strong vertical dimension of city-regional governance in China, the role and interference of the Central Government in matters of metropolitan policy-making is variable.

Yet, systematic research on spatio-temporal urbanization patterns and drivers along the urban–rural gradient is rarely reported for northwest China. Here, we use land-use data from 1980 to 2015 to explore land-use change, urbanization intensity, and drivers in northwest China. Our results display direct and indirect effects of urban expansion on farmland loss, but also spatio-temporal heterogeneity in the urbanization patterns. While the earlier years were dominated by infill and land conversion close to city centers, the later years displayed sprawling urbanization following the constraints of terrain and administrative boundaries at the cost of farmland. Our regression analysis of spatial variables found a strong relationship with urban planning factors. The spatial analysis of urbanization patterns revealed indirect land-use change on former farmland. Furthermore, we found that regional geography and historic sites considerably influenced land conversion. Overall, our findings indicate the need for sustainable planning strategies that synthesize approaches to farmland and historic site protection and consideration of regionally specific landscape characteristics.

    2019 International Religious Freedom Report

    CHINA (INCLUDES TIBET, XINJIANG, HONG KONG, AND MACAU) 2019 INTERNATIONAL RELIGIOUS FREEDOM REPORT Executive Summary Reports on Hong Kong, Macau, Tibet, and Xinjiang are appended at the end of this report. The constitution, which cites the leadership of the Chinese Communist Party and the guidance of Marxism-Leninism and Mao Zedong Thought, states that citizens have freedom of religious belief but limits protections for religious practice to “normal religious activities” and does not define “normal.” Despite Chairman Xi Jinping’s decree that all members of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) must be “unyielding Marxist atheists,” the government continued to exercise control over religion and restrict the activities and personal freedom of religious adherents that it perceived as threatening state or CCP interests, according to religious groups, nongovernmental organizations (NGOs), and international media reports. The government recognizes five official religions – Buddhism, Taoism, Islam, Protestantism, and Catholicism. Only religious groups belonging to the five state- sanctioned “patriotic religious associations” representing these religions are permitted to register with the government and officially permitted to hold worship services. There continued to be reports of deaths in custody and that the government tortured, physically abused, arrested, detained, sentenced to prison, subjected to forced indoctrination in CCP ideology, or harassed adherents of both registered and unregistered religious groups for activities related to their religious beliefs and practices. There were several reports of individuals committing suicide in detention, or, according to sources, as a result of being threatened and surveilled. In December Pastor Wang Yi was tried in secret and sentenced to nine years in prison by a court in Chengdu, Sichuan Province, in connection to his peaceful advocacy for religious freedom.

    sustainability Article Study on Urban Efficiency Measurement and Spatiotemporal Evolution of Cities in Northwest China Based on the DEA–Malmquist Model Jun Yin and Qingmei Tan * College of Economics and Management, Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Nanjing 211106, China; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 18 November 2018; Accepted: 12 January 2019; Published: 15 January 2019 Abstract: Urban efficiency can effectively measure the management and allocation level of urban factor inputs. Based on the data of 30 prefecture-level cities in Northwest China from 2006 to 2015, urban efficiency is measured by data envelopment analysis (DEA). Then the spatiotemporal evolution rule is identified by Malmquist model. The results illustrate that the overall average urban efficiency of cities in Northwest China each year from 2006 to 2015 was at the low level. Only Jiayuguan, Yulin, Yan’an, and Karamay reached the high average urban efficiency, while Dingxi, Pingliang, Guyuan, Shangluo, Tianshui, Longnan, and Baiyin were at the inefficient level. Most cities in Northwest China were still in the “growing” stage of increasing returns to scale. The scale of urban investment was relatively insufficient, and economies of scale had not yet formed. Cities with decreasing returns to scale were mainly distributed in the capital cities and the central and sub-central cities of Guanzhong-Tianshui Economic Zone with relatively abundant urban resources and capital. Cities with constant returns to scale were mainly distributed in four cities including Yan’an, Yulin, Jiayuguan, and Karamay with high efficiency. The overall comprehensive efficiency, technical efficiency, and scale efficiency of cities in Northwest China were not only low, but also showing a downward trend.
